This Free School Meals debate 18:53 - Oct 21 with 20346 views

I've just seen the clips from Twitter as I don't have a licence to watch on Iplayer but bloody hell, these heartless individuals... They're all preaching personal responsibility, while voting for a policy that will ensure whether or not kids eat is determined by their parents income, which they have no control over.

First we have Brendan Clarke Smith accusing those wanting to feed kids of "virtue signalling." He's the same bloke who was caught denying the scale of food banks during his election hustings.

Brendan Clarke-Smith(Tory MP) - â€œI do not believe in nationalising children. We need to get back to the idea of taking responsibility. This means less celebrity virtue signalling on Twitter by proxy" #FreeSchoolMeals pic.twitter.com/83FuyWrfsi

And Kieran Mullen, claiming that it's not the state's job to feed kids.

"I would ask high profile campaigners on this issue to urge their social media followers... to put an equal amount of energy into encouraging their friends and family to volunteer," says Tory MP Kieran Mullan in the debate on extending free school mealshttps://t.co/JcG2l8FCO3 pic.twitter.com/qQkxnNlueA

All incorrect. As per usual.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show
